To improve your own soloing it´s helpful not to listen only to other bass players, but to good solos on any kind of instrument. One of my personal favorites is this piano solo from Kenny Kirkland on „La belle dame sans regrets“ from Sting (Mercury falling). Extraordinary choice of notes and rhythm. In some notes i am not sure. Sorry, no transcription (am to bad in that, at that level…). But this example is only meant to encourage you, to not only check out  bass-solos…..

I am astonished more by the fact that you can slow it down keeping the correct time! That is truly stunning :-)
